History

Ropponmatsu opened on 3 February 2005 in Ropponmatsu 4-chōme, Chūō Ward, Fukuoka, when the Fukuoka City Subway's Nanakuma Line went into service. Design work ran from June 1999 to February 2000 and construction from March 2003 to July 2004. The station has been outsourced from day one — Tenjin-Minami Station now serves as its managing station and JR Kyushu Service Support handles operations. Nishitetsu's Fukuoka City tram line, with its Ropponmatsu stop, ran on the surface here until 1975, and the Nanakuma Line between Tenjin-Minami and Ropponmatsu largely traces that former tram alignment. A third exit was added on 26 September 2017 when the Ropponmatsu 421 complex opened, and the subsidiary name "Kagakukan-mae" (Science Museum) was attached on 3 October 2019. The station code is N11.

Notes

The Nanakuma Line's alignment from Tenjin-Minami up to Ropponmatsu generally traces the right-of-way of the long-closed Nishitetsu Fukuoka City tram line, whose Ropponmatsu stop survived until 1975 — three decades before this subway replaced it.
